I Got Love For A Thug

Three months later..

Dartez,

Since August been gone, Alvae goes to doctor appointments with me. But today he wasnt able so i got Zay (Xavier) to come with me. We have gotten really close the past three months but he wont ever take the place of August nor fill the spot i have for him in my heart.

As Zay and i sat in the room, we waited on the OBGYN to come in. "Thanks Zay. Im happy you could make it on such short notice." i told him. "Its nothing ma. You know i got you." he told me then the female doctor walked in.

"Nice to see you again Ms.Dubois. Can you raise your shirt up over your belly and lay on your back for me?" Doctor Mell asked. I did so and she covered my belly with the blue gell.

"Your now eight months. Congratulations." i smiled. "Would you like to know the sex?" I signed and nodded my head. "Yes, please." "Well its a...baby boy." she told me. My heart lite up. I would have a little August ruining around the house. "Oh my gosh!" i cheered. This was the best news yet. Zay held my hand and smiled.

At the restaurant ...

"Thanks again Zay. Your a huge help." i told him. "Ma why you keep thanking me?" he asked. "Because i dont think you understand how much i appreciate what you do. Its hard being pregnant and alone." i explained to him. "I get cha. Ill always be here if you need me. You know that?" he asked. "Yeah Zay, thats why i love you... as a friend, ya know." "I love you too my little Taz Manian Devil." i laughed. Zay would always call me that.

( If yall dont know thats the little bad brown character from Looney Tunes )

"Hey Dartez." i heard a voice over my shoulder. I looked up and to my surprise it was my ex Garry and that bitch Chelsea hand in hand. "Hi." i said dryly. Chelsea was all smirked up looking at me. I hope she doesnt think im suppose to be mad because Garry is a thing of the past.

"I see your exspecting. Congrats." Garry told me. "Thanks." i smiled. He left when the waitress came with our food. "Who was that?" Zay asked cutting his steak. "A nobody." i responded with. My phone vibrated in my purse and i answred it on the third ring. It was my mom calling.

"Hi mom, what's up?" i asked.

"Its your dad... He's.... dead." she told me then the phone went blank. "Hes what?" i cried. Not caring who saw. "Yes. He had a heart attack." my mom said as her voice got cracky. I hung up and looked up at Zay. "Woah, you good?" he asked. I shook my head no. "My dad had a heart attack." i told him. "Can we go?" i asked. We got up and left out.

The drive home was awkward. I just stared out the window until we got to the house. I changed into some sweat pants that said "Love Pink" on the booty, hot pink and black Nikes with a black BeBe tank top that had rhinestones on it. I walked into the room and saw Zay on his phone. "Im going to my moms." i said then walked out.

I got to my mom's house and saw my sister Deedy and Terry sitting on the sofa. "Wheres mom?" i asked. Terry pointed to the kitchen. I walked in and my mom had her head down. I walked over to her and put my hand on her shoulder. "Im here mom."

She stood up and hugged me tightly. She cried on my shoulder like a baby. "Do you know what i feel Dartez?" she cried. I rubbed her back as a tear fell from my eye as well. I never got a chance to apologize to my dad that time i walked out on him. I hate that this was the way things had to end. "I gotta go." i said to my mom then left out the door.

I went to the same park i was at when i had first saw my dad and i sat at the same bench. "Everything good?" i heard a familiar voice say to me. I looked up and saw my dads face. "Dad?" i questioned. "You know i hate to see you cry Darty. wipe those damn tears. You stronger than that." he told me. He looked down at my belly. "You'll be a great mom, baby." he told me as he put his hand on my cheek. "I love you." he spoke. "I love you too dad." i said. He pointed towards something and i looked. It was Chris standing by the water with his hands in his pockets. I looked back at my dad but he wasnt there. I guess it all was a thing of my imagination. But i looked over at Chris again and he was still there.

"Maybe that was a sign?" i whispered to myself. I got up and walked over to Chris and i put my arms around his waist from behind. "I know its you Dartez." he said. I arched an eyebrow. "How did you know?" i asked. He turned and faced me. "Because i know your scent. It reminds me of my mother." he told me. "Hows your dad doing?" i asked. He turned back around and dropped his head.

"He died just three hours ago." he spoke as tears fell from his eyes. I sheaded one as well. "So did mine." i chocked out. He looked at me. I dried his tears and hugged him. "Life gets better." i told him. He pulled away and looked deeply into my eyes. "Dartez i love you." he said.

"I love you-----

He cut me off with a passionate kiss. Something i haven't felt in awhile. It was something i had been missing. I dont even think August had ever kissed me the way Chris had just done. Honestly, i liked it. He pulled away and stared me in the eyes.

"You'll run off.. again. Just like you did the other times." he said then turned back to the water. I took both hands and turned him back to me and smashed our lips together. "I got love for you, Chris." i said inbetween kisses. "Love got love for a thug, you mean.." he said and i paused. Which did i have? Or was he saying that he was a thug as well. I didnt care at the time because my heart and mind was telling me i loved Chris and as for August....

...... I wasnt sure anymore.
